Seeing Spots

There is always something cute and whimsical about polka dot cakes. The ones above are created by placing fondant cut into circles directly onto the cake. Super simple and a really achieveable DIY project if you feel so inclined. Add a little extra vavavoom by adding glitter or wow the guests with an ombre version?!

Confetti Pop

How cute are these confetti style dot wedding cakes? Using smaller dots than the ones featured above these cakes can be created from making smaller dots with the fondant or to make life really simple, use confetti style sprinkles!
